68 miles
We woke up to a very strong storm with quite a bit of lightning. However, by the time we hit the road the skies had cleared and we had wonderful conditions. It was cool and there was a tail wind.
Ed, Gail, and I headed out early and got to Baldwinville relatively early. This area is on the Erie Canal and is a suburb of Syracuse, NY. As such, it had some traffic that we had to deal with. One advantage of this was that there were a few decent coffee places. Once Ed saw a Barnes and Noble we all stopped in to have an coffee.

Today's ride was very good. We had no precipitation and the shoulders were the best of the whole tour. They seemed to be 8 feet wide and smooth unlike the conditions in the Midwest.
There were only a few hills but I could tell we are more than half way across NY. It is cooler now and I think we are relatively close to the Adirondacks.
Thanks NY -Perfect road conditions, wide, smooth shoulder, tail wind and clear skies
I used my GPS for the last few miles because some of the roads were not marked around Delta Lake. This area is just 20 north of Rome, NY
